The Bahamas Government is determining strategies to maximize cruise tourism by developing the existing port at Prince George Wharf – Nassau Cruise Port. Nassau Cruise Port project is developing Nassau into one of the great waterfronts of the world. The project will also include the building of a new terminal building; the creation of an event and entertainment area; investments in retail facilities; and the design and construction of new food and beverage facilities. It will integrate the port into Bay Street and downtown Nassau, with the expectation that it will act as a catalyst for the wider development of the downtown area.
About 390 people are working on the Marine and Upland works of the project and 60% of these employees are local personnel. Approximately 700,000 person-hours were expended without any Lost Time Incidents (LTI) on the project.
